Ranking is hard. How much I like it depends on the day. Yesterday I felt like this should rated like 5.6, but today like 6.6. Apparently this is from a Umineko spin-off game! (correct me if I'm wrong) The main ideas, to me, fall flat. The piano bass 1st/5th/7th transposing ostinato introduced at the very start is.unique. But it gets old fast. Likewise with the piano melody when it comes in at 0:40. The OTHER ideas are what keep me engaged here. I like the piano chords at 0:53, though! Cool. Then theres the flute melody, the peaceful joy it brings ! And the strings joining in adds to the charm. Everything really jives around this part. I love all of that section! The piano uses the main theme for a little bit at 2:14 but it's modified in a tasteful way. To sum it up, it starts off a bit boring, but overall it fills me with peace and happiness!

Yup. 0:17 is cool how you got those isolated blocks with a funky guitar repetition between them. That is one rocking idea starting about at 0:24 (the vibrato high note especially)!,I would assume that is the main reason Laguerra was so successful. That's one classic melody at 0:40,especially with the support of those full bass notes. Some of the subtle guitar stuff bolsters the atmosphere at about 1:30. TCs The Filthy Mind reminds me of what goes on at 2:32. Cool. I like the hemiola there. Finally, 2:55.... HOLY CRAP, the contrast sounds good! So lush and dark.
